Toy Story Mania! — Attraction in Bay Lake

A great ride for kids of all ages This is located in the new Toy Story Land in Hollywood Studios. There are many rides in the area as it is designed for the younger crowd. I have never even thought to go on these rides but a family member asked me to accompany them. I am glad that I did. It is, like all the rides in the area, very popular and very crowded. If you choose to go on it, I would strongly recommend that you get a lightning lane pass to save yourself a lot of waiting. The ride has a carnival-like atmosphere to it from the entry to the actual ride. You pass through areas with pictures of the various toy story characters. Each car in the ride fits 4 people with 2 on each side. Each person has a “cannon” with a pull cord. One person has a blue cannon and the other a red one. The car moves through various rooms with the different characters and each person aims and fires their cannons at the various targets. It is a lot of fun. There is a small screen that keeps each person’s score and the car score is shown on a large screen as you near the end of the ride. For a kids' ride, I had a great time and highly recommend this ride for anybody wanting to have fun and be...

It's a cross between a shooting gallery at a carnival, and a video game on a screen! The only difference is that you're pulling a string to shoot at your targets versus an old-timey button or a trigger. The goal is to rack up as many points as you can.

We were going to pass this up for Slinky Dog Dash. Fortunately, Slinky was having technical problems all through early entry. We ended up going back to Toy Story Mania. The line went super fast. We were on the ride in no time. I like that it gives you a little time to get acquainted with your spring-action shooter by taking practice shots before moving on to the game. I aimed high throughout the game to knock out the targets with the highest points. My accuracy was better than my husband, but he barely beat me in points. Oh well!!

The large toys and games that you see in line are kind of cool. The height of the door made me feel like I was a little toy underneath it. It's great fun for the family. It really was much better than I thought it would be. It brings out that inner child that you thought had left the building. Don't pass this one up (unless it's a...

So much fun for everyone, and is (in my opinion) an even more fun version of the Buzz Lightyear ride found in Magic Kingdom. Both rides involve shooting at moving targets and ringing up the highest score possible, but there is something so satisfying with TSM! about pulling the lever back and letting the ammo fly.

The line is not too long when the park first opens and right before closing. The lines are excellent as well, with plenty to look at. This is a good ride to take younger kids on while older kids head to the nearby Slinky Dog Dash. Lots of replay value here, too, as you can try to beat your own score and the scores of others.

When I got off at the end, my arm hurt (in a good way) from pulling the lever so often and my cheeks hurt from smiling non-stop. A...
